Art Gallery - Heritage Collection

Enjoy a glimpse of 19th century life along the Ottawa River
by viewing our collection of heritage river art. The original beauty and
strength of the river is depicted by the voyageurs and Algonquin first nation
paddling the mighty rapids. The advance of technology is portrayed by the huge
logging rafts destined for Quebec City, the first steamboats and bridges. Early
settlement began to appear and none more dramatic than the contrasting view of
Parliament Hill between the 1830s and '60s.
